Three years ago, i was stung by a yellow jacket on the side of my big toe. the pain is so intense that i get tremors. i took benadryl (diphenhydramine). there is no swelling now. canthere be possible nerve damage?

Probably not: It may me a reaction to the sting. You should seek medical attention asap.

Not likely: I would give it some more time and everything should slowly get back to normal. Expect pain and swelling for the next few days.

No: Ice and elevation. Over the counter Ibuprofen every 6-8 hours will help with the inflammation.

Ouch!: Remove stinger by scraping along edge of skin with a credit card. Clean with soap & warm water. Apply ice in 10 minute. Increments; alternating 10 on & 10 off. Tylenol, (acetaminophen) Aspirin or Motrin for pain or Benadryl for swelling. Make a paste of 2 parts baking soda & 1 part water & apply. Or you can apply a meat tenderizer poultice to the area. Throat, airway or tongue swelling – call 911.
